We just landed

on the ground that is,

could have been talking about a launch off a tree limb,

you know the branches let you choose

autumn leaves,

or a concrete sidewalk.

Suppose it depends on where we are

when we decide to jump

that leap that decision to take a risk,

knowing only a couple of broken bones

are far better than a broken life.
